"At the end of 1992, the European Trade Union Technical Bureau for Health and Safety organized a conference in Luxembourg on " Prevention in the workplace as the Community Framework Directive enters into force ". Various background papers were prepared for the conference, the main one being that produced by Laurent Vogel of the TUTB 's own staff to provide a frame of reference for the proceedings. This has now been published in a newly edited version which incorporates the two interim reports from the TUTB 's survey of preventive services in Western Europe updated to the end of 1993. The TUTB also commissioned from Professor David Walters and his team of researchers at the South Bank University of London a comparative study on worker representation on health and safety in Europe. The study, which covers a sample of European Community countries and Sweden, aims to identify the types of worker representation established in the countries concemed and to assess their effectiveness in practice.
